My goal with collecting these 'good reasons' is that when future articles are published, the writer won't have to dig through the mailing lists and bug developers for good points. Perhaps the writer tried and those are the best that could be found. Perhaps the writer didn't do enough research; however with the very low amount of press coverage the GTA04 has received, we need to make it easier for those who want to write about it.

New Phoronix article on Gta04
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MTEzMjI If you missed it. Sadly he doesn't make much constructive criticism; he bashes the specs but it's not as if much can be done about that now. He does mention some good things such as where it is manufactured, being able to run debian/shr/qtmoko... and in his defense, I can't think of too many more good points. Maybe we can put up a 'feature list' of good points that reporters like him can use when writing articles on the GTA04.

I recently bought a used Motorola XT720 on Ebay for $80 CAD. That's a price I can afford. I'm not saying you should drop prices or use bad factories, but I personally need far more time to save up 499 Euros. What do you think should we do to make this group tour a success? * extend the subscription timeframe until we reach 100%? Please! The people who want it earlier will be disappointed, but seeing as how the development model is so different, I'm sure they'll understand (though ask them, which what you're doing I suppose). * ask for/collect donations to extend the early bird rebates? Some sort of sponsorship by community members for community members who can't afford a new GTA04 immediately? I love this idea, but with only 56 units ordered, I'm not going to hold my breath. * have more resellers or buying groups to order batches of 10 units? * talk more about the benefits and special features one can only find in a GTA04 and nowhere else? Always good, but takes work. Someone in reply to a recent Phoronix article suggested marketing them as devices that can be fully encrypted for the politician or activist who needs it most. I hate to say it but people have a real hard-on for Android. Making sure the AoF people have a board to hack on could go a long way and you could reasonably call it an investment. * subsidize GTA04 boards by combining them with a UMTS contract? Possibly but very limited to certain areas, right? Maybe pick the top four geekiest locations to this... What kind of person knows about this sort of thing? * offer to pay only part of the price by end of the subscription time frame so that we can already buy the expensive and difficult to source components, but postpone production individually until the remaining payments arrive? (i.e. pay 200 EUR until 10th Feb and the remainder until May) Big yes! I firmly set my vote for this option above all others. I can afford one eventually, but even May might be too soon for me. More ideas are welcome! But please keep in mind that we can't develop something completely new until February and components cost what they cost... The simpler the idea the better! You spoke about marketing in another post. This is crucial. Geeks should be jumping for a phone that ships Debian + LXDE. I haven't seen one post on Debian User, or the LXDE lists! These guys are the one's who'll be happy to pay a premium. Let's blast all Foss lists that are even mildly relevant, LUGS all have mailing lists, hackspace lists, where-ever makers hang out, and this is just off the top of my head. Let's also ask GTA02 owners (18,000 of them right?), who have one collecting dust to put them up on Ebay or buy a GTA04. Kickstarter or a similar service like others mentioned, is also a good idea. Even if it's just for specific areas, any funding I'm sure will be put to good use. I wish I had known earlier no one was doing marketing. Not that I really have much time myself, but since no one else is stepping up to the plate I'll see what I can conjure up. I'll start a marketing thread in the next few days, please though if someone else wants to take the initiative you have my blessing and thanks!

I pay less in rent. At $400 it's a strertch, but I could maybe pull it off by February/March. It's just a matter of time before I get one, but it won't be soon. B) GSM in my area is very expensive. The only providers that have a fair price where I live are UMTS IV (aka AWS). With the GSM networks, I'm looking at 3 times more than the AWS networks. I have to factor in this cost as well or relegate the GTA04 to a PDA. C) I don't want to risk breaking my beloved FR. Section 4.9 of the manual should highlight my concern.

[Marketing] Ideas / Plan
Hello All, Firstly note that I am not a marketing expert by any means. I only wish to throw ideas out there and implement what I have time for. If there are any marketing experts on the list (heck, if you're even just interested), please speak up! The only experience you really need is the ability to write in your native language. I'm only familiar with English sources but anything will work. Let's coordinate efforts on the wiki, I'm sure Openmoko won't mind us piggybacking off their wiki ;p http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Marketing_GTA04 Things to mention: 1. The GTA04 *requires* an FR / NEO1974. This should serve as a request to get people who have these collecting dust, selling them online. Maybe this should be made more explicit? 2. The GTA04 has vastly improved on every area of the FR. 3. The GTA04 is made in a proper factory in the EU, and of quality parts, in small runs - hence the price tag. This will appeal to those of us who want things done right, not cheap. 4. Though there are non-free chunks, harm has been reduced as much as possible. Talking about how the wifi firmware has been isolated so it cannot interfere with the O/S is a great example. Areas to Attack: 1. Online and print magazines, news websites: We need to get the word out about the GTA04. I find myself agreeing with the claim that he GTA04 isn't well known about. This appeared on Slashdot early this month http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/12/01/1910213/openmokos-freerunner-rises-from-the-ashesNo mention of a pre-order. There was an article in late July on the Salon blog: http://blog.slyon.de/2011/07/26/openmoko-gta04-is-getting-reality/ http://blog.slyon.de/2011/07/26/openmoko-gta04-is-getting-reality/%20 Phornix http://www.phoronix.com/ also did an articlehttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MTAzNDEon Openmoko just a few days ago, but only one line about the GTA04 : People are not excited, so let's make some noise! There are many other tech news sites out there. Ars Technica http://arstechnica.com/comes to mind, Lifehacker http://lifehacker.com/ and Make http://makezine.com/ would get a kick out of the board switching procedure, Wired is an older popular magazine, Phoronix http://www.phoronix.com/ I'm sure will do one focused on the GTA04 and 2600 http://www.2600.com/for the geeks who like print (someone please write a cool article for those guys - I promise you they'll publish it)! Jeez, I almost forgot to mention http://lwn.net/ Traditionally a press release is sent out. I've never written one before and don't particularly want to start with this. Is there anyone who has written one before? 2. Mailing lists of FOSS projects: This area cannot be done with a press release blast. Well it can, but I don't think the subscribers will appreciate spam. Ideally each of us can write a post about the GTA04 on any other FOSS lists we are on. I'll get the ball rolling with a post to the Debian user list soon.The other big relevant list to hit is the LXDE related mailing lists: lxde-list lxde-l...@lists.sourceforge.net, lubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desk...@lists.launchpad.net Plasma active could be another one, assuming it runs on the hardware, as with gnome-shell gnome-shell-l...@gnome.org Let's get a list of mailings lists going on a wiki page. 3. Free Geeks Free Geek's are organizations dedicated to ethical recycling. They are all independently run so let's gather a list of each one's main mailing list and start a discussion. Starting points include how replacing a board is much more ecological than full new cell phone. The challenges with such an approach, and perhaps how FOSS helps to ensure old devices see much more support than their counterparts. I'll be updating the wiki with some adresses as I collect them. For now, Free Geek Vancouver: fg-gene...@lists.freegeekvancouver.org 4. Hack Spaces Hackers love linux and tinkering! We can organize with Hack Spaces to help less hardware oriented users like myself with supervision/teaching of the board swap. I'll also be adding them to the wiki, please help collect addresses if you're too shy to post. Vancouver Hack Space: vhs-gene...@lists.hackspace.ca 5. LUGS Linux User Groups are *not* dead.

Re: Navit for QT Moko
Hehe, I don't think I've given a thank you to either of them either. It's always hard in FOSS because you don't want to forget anyone. I think the SHR folk and kernel hackers deserve lots of thanks as well! The folks who have created themes for both have always made me love the phone more, also all the authors of the various apps created for both stacks. Without each of these groups the phone would be so much less. As nice as a fast stable phone is, it's not as impressive without applications to make use of it and a pretty UI; and no point to having a pretty UI and plentiful applications if the phone isn't stable or working properly. Almost forgot to extend thanks to Openmoko and all it's employees for taking the lead in this area and producing this kind of hardware when no one else was willing. I'm strapped for cash too, but whenever looking at other phones, I'm still missing features that the FR has (except GTA04 of course, will be placing my order as soon as I can budget for it- god damn it's expensive). As you said, you'll have to pry it form my cold dead hands! I *love* being able to run almost all 30,000+ apps in the debian repos if I need to; I *love* USB host mode; I *love* that it runs Debian; I *love* that a group is working on a completely free GSM firmware (does any other phone have anyone working on that?); I *love* that we have schematics and that people have found good mods to improve performance / fix bugs (I wish I had the soldering skills to apply it, but I don't want to mess it up by lifting a pad or spilling solder- those points are tiny); and tons more. There have been many people bashing the phone, especially at launch, but most every complaint I've heard has been resolved (at-least for me). Don't get me wrong, it would be great if our community was as large as Android or IOS, however we've come a long way with our limited resources/numbers. I only wish I was able to contribute more myself.

Most of the time it's desktop linux on my phone + pretty phone ui. SHR if you want very finger friendly and smartphone centric type apps, www.opkg.org has a nice collection.

Android is good for cool factor, I don't like it much (I like X applications) and haven't used it in weeks, but it impresses a certain crowd of geek :) The project also pulls in updates pushed out by google. The faux appstore is interesting, nothing particulary great IMO. One of my favourite ones was a distro with a gui written in QT, very pretty and based on FSO but I can't remember the name now. Whatever you decide to try, it's going to be easier to have a bootmenu. On your GTA01 i hope you have a debug board or someway to modify the bootloader if you throw on QI. Some fellow released a graphical bootmenu for it a few weeks back and it makes distro selecting very convienient. I've learned to hate U-boot. As for uses: my favourite thing to do with the FR- I can be out and about, someone will mention a good movie/song and I'll download the torrent and scp it to my box at home (which starts the download). Orrery has been a personal favourite, nothing like looking at the stars and actually knowing the constellations! There was an app in opkg.org that listend for a secret sms and would lockout the phone (or something to that effect, haven't used SHR in a bit). Navit is great for directions (on versions where inputing works) with gps, but just having a map of the city when I need it is fine.

I can choose an item, and it will ask me to make the gesture, but no matter how much I shake it, it will not respond. -- Kelvie Wong ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
